Once again guys, thanks for the lovely inspiring comments..

Meoricin, I'm just using 4 tiny squares of double-sided tape, makes them removable without any tape of stickiness remaining on the card..

Have you taped the plate on to the screws, or hard on to the corners?

Holy crap this is a sweet build dude. Mind me asking what camera you are using? For 60 quid you are still getting some epic shots

I'm amazed, this is a fantastic build and looks incredible. Keep up the good work and cant't wait to see how it turns out

I'm just lost for words . But I gotta say ...awesome looking

Thanks foster grant..

I was asking about how you stuck the backplate on to the graphics card. It looks stunning, but I wondered how it was stuck on to the card.

I was thinking that the tape was maybe stuck on to the screws that hold the GPU on to the PCB, or am I totally wrong?

Hi, all I did was cut 4 small (10p) sized pieces and stuck them as closevto the corners as possible..

Hope that helps..

Looks amazing, you are very talented.

Upgrading any components will be a major task though! lol

Thanks OracIe..

Upgrading would be grounds for a new project then..

After reading through this log in particular i have decided to refresh my rig again. New case, gfx and loop. haha

I hope to have some more updates later today, but for the time being I will have to leave you in the care of my adorable little project mascot..

Aneskimo · 16 Sep 2013 at 13:16

This needs finishing its been a good build to follow!

Your mascot is cool and at least he ain't a horse of the Trojan kind ; )

Cleisthenes · 16 Sep 2013 at 13:51

It's called Dunny "Drill One" from Kidrobot..

Not a lot of them around, I had to do some searching

keenan · 17 Sep 2013 at 10:26

Got a bit of an update..

After debating an what would be the best color to match "Military Green" I have finally got some results!!

First I did a light basecoat..

Than a second coat and some weathering..

A quick test fit for color matching..

Remember this..?

It now looks like this..

...and this..

Final results.. Hope you guys like it..
